Jessica’s Point of View.
“Let’s go in now”
“Thank you for what you did for that boy”
“I didn’t do anything, if his results isn’t as good as he claimed or if he failed the interview, it’s on him”
“I know but still thank you, you gave him a chance to get his dream work”
“Okay, angel Jessica lets go inside, you will get a cold, your clothes isn’t thick”
“So you knew but you choose it for me and made me wear them ”
“I couldn’t help myself, you looked so good in it I could gobble you up”
“Owh, never knew you were a snake”
“Ouch, babe that hurts”
“Sorry….. Not”
I said and started running back inside, he chased after me playfully, I was already inside the room before he gets there and we two landed in the bed, squirming loudly,
“Will you two keep quiet up there!!”
Oops, grandfather, his health must be more than better if he could still shout, I thought our room is soundproofed, okay, the door was open, I hurriedly closed the door and we burst out laughing.
The chirping of the bird at the window got me up, what I wouldn’t do to have a cup of coffee in my system right now, I tried to sit up but the hand on my waist held me down, I turned to my front to see Xavier sleeping peacefully while cuddling….. tight if I may add.
He looked peaceful, kinder and more relaxed as he is sleeping, guess sleeping is a rest to the soul, my eyes wandered to his mouth and it was as inviting as ever, I leaned down to kiss him but changed my mind as quickly as I thought about it but he grabbed my head from behind and locked our lips together and I melted.
“You were taking a lot of time, my patience ran out so I decided to take it by myself ”
“Oh well that’s your reward then”
“Is that so? Then I guess it’s alright for me to continue till am satisfied ”
“Be my guest then”
No sooner had I said that then he locked out mouths again, lips meeting lips, tongue tugging tongue in a war of tag, I melted into him, my hardened nipple rubbing on his warm chest as we tangled together, his hands in my waist then my butt before squeezing me against his head-on, heat pooling in between my legs and I closed them together to get the release I seek.
It was all going good till,
“You both get your asses up, someone is …..”
We were interrupted by none other than my aunt who is currently in a dazed state,
“Oh, sorry, I…. I am looking…. Sorry, I mean some people are looking for you two”
“Okay, we will be with them shortly ”
Xavier was the one who answered, I was hiding my face and Xavier still has his hand on my butt, this is embarrassing.
She literally fled from here, she must have been shocked, we open the door when we were awake, we forgot to lock it last night, awhh, this is so embarrassing I could dig a hole and hide in it.
“She is gone”
“Yes and we have a visitor ”
“Am sure they can wait”
“Nope, no way, absolutely no way, its Mike and Blac they came to talk about last night’s hunt, get up and prepare to met them”
He grudgingly got up, even after bathing his face was still grumpy, my aunt can be such a cock blocker, I took my own bath and wore casual clothes and came downstairs.
“The queen is finally downstairs ”
Mike just had to open his mouth to say something,
“(Scoffs) Mike, Blac, good morning to you two”
“Good morning, Mrs Jessica ”
Blac replied looking all bubbly like he won a lottery, I sat down in my seat beside Xavier who winked at me,
“So hit me”
“So our mission was successful ”
Mike started, standing up and raising his hand and putting the other on his chest, so dramatic,
“Yay”
Blac who I know as an introvert seconded, maybe he caught Mike’s bubbly spirit.
“Yay, now we got the celebrations out of the way, what did we get?”
“We find files of corruption, tax evasion, money laundering, embezzlement and… The murder of your parents ”
“……”
I looked at Xavier but his face was emotionless, he didn’t say anything like he was expecting it, I held his hand and squeezed while smiling at him warmly.
“So where is it?”
“Here, we got both disk and files, the conversation between your father and him that caused it and the conversation between him and the hired killer”
“Okay, then have you talked with the police we were in touch with?”
“Yes but there is one thing we need to check out ”
“What?”
“The money laundering, the investigator asks us to check if refusing to take part in the money laundering was why your father was killed”
“What do you mean?”
“This art museum “the manos” are in the money laundering, they launder money for corrupt company owners, politicians ETC , in return get to sale their not so worth it art”
Mike explained, i remembered this case, it was one that the former manager was investigating then but was all of a sudden removed,
“I have heard of this case before, when I was a newly hired intern, anyone who investigated it either got fired or join them or worse gets missing ”
“So now it’s obvious that your parent’s death is more deeper than we thought”
“Tell the police we are in”
“Yes!! Ahem! They will be having an auction next week, Blac will try to get you an invitation and we will try to infiltrate it”
“Okay, clear everything up, arrange it and gave it to Blac no one will suspect him”
“Yes, good because he has more awareness than I”
“So you know even”
“So get ready for everything before next week Saturday then”
“Okay, now time to eat”
